Losing A Friend

The Spirit Center Board of Directors, Advisory Council, Staff and Volunteers were saddened to lose our good friend Dale Baird. His dedication to this project was amazing. We are going to miss his knowledge, energy, and humor. Thank You Dale for providing a solid foundation of leadership, donors, prospects, and information to allow The Spirit Center to move forward in 2012!

We are committed to continuing the momentum of building our community spiritual retreat facility. We thank you for your support during 2011 and look forward to working with you in 2012. May God bless you and your family during the Christmas Season and New Year!

Sherry Bowers, CFRE

In Loving Memory of Dale W. Baird, Executive Director
Our friend and faithful servant Dale W. Baird was called home to the Lord Wednesday, November 23, 2011 due to his battle with cancer. He was very active in RCIA and Little Miss Kickball. He served as the Executive Director for The Spirit Center since June 2010. Dale Baird was truly a beacon of light and hope to us in our endeavors to make the Spirit Center a reality. We will miss his physical presence with us, but we can be assured of his continued animation and cheering on in the deeper spiritual sense. You may make a financial gift "In Memory of Dale" to continue to support his dream.

"The Dale Baird House"
The Spirit Center is excited to announce that Mike and Cindy Boudloche have purchased a home located at 1502 Howard Street in Corpus Christi for one homeless family to use temporarily while they get back on their feet and they are naming it "The Dale Baird House". Catholic Charities will be assisting with the community project.
